Reachpad MCP
reachpad lets Claude, Codex and other coding agents build full-stack apps in persistent workspaces and share them by link, without a separate deployment. A workspace is a cloud development computer an agent operates itself: a repo, a filesystem, installed dependencies and build state that all survive between calls, not an ephemeral sandbox that forgets. Processes are the exception; see below.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

before you install - you'll need
Set REACHPAD_MCP_HTTP_PORT, REACHPAD_IDENTITY_CREDENTIAL before connecting.

Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to reachpad.dev
endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize
repo age created 2026-08-12 - young repo, little track record yet
license MIT - declared in the repository
npm package @reachpad/mcp - published under the repo owner's npm scope (@reachpad)
registry namespace io.github.Reachpad is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

05 · Reachpad MCP FAQ
What is Reachpad MCP?
reachpad lets Claude, Codex and other coding agents build full-stack apps in persistent workspaces and share them by link, without a separate deployment. A workspace is a cloud development computer an agent operates itself: a repo, a filesystem, installed dependencies and build state that all survive between calls, not an ephemeral sandbox that forgets. Processes are the exception; see below.
Is Reachpad MCP still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Reachpad MCP?
Run `npx -y @reachpad/mcp`. The README documents 2 environment variables (REACHPAD_MCP_HTTP_PORT, REACHPAD_IDENTITY_CREDENTIAL) to set first. Set REACHPAD_MCP_HTTP_PORT, REACHPAD_IDENTITY_CREDENTIAL before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Reachpad MCP require authentication?
Yes - when we probed the endpoint on 2026-08-25, it rejected an unauthenticated MCP initialize; you'll need credentials to connect.
